Five times a dayin Mecca, above, and around the worldfaithful Muslims roll out their prayer rugs to worship God. Islam literally means "submission," and nowhere does that concept resonate more powerfully than in Saudi Arabia. "Islam is totally ingrained in the fabric of contemporary Saudi life and this is perhaps beyond the comprehension of many foreigners," writes businessman Hani A. Z. Yamani in To Be a Saudi. "It is a constitution, a law, an economic path, a social regulator, and God's eternal instructions."
